The Blaine Boom of 1888.
THE PLUMED KNIGHT TO CROSS THE CON-
TINENT IN A STORM OF ovATIoNs.

Washington Dispatch to the New York Herald.
Mr., James G. Blaine is expected TO
reach San Francisco, Cal, on his re-
turn to the United States on the goth
of June next. He will return via Japan.
Five days after his arrival in San Fran
cisco the National Republican Conven.
tion will be held. Mr.. Blaine will re-
main in California until the nomina.
ton has been made.
One of Mr.. Blaines party managers
who is authority for this statement
says that the Maine statesman will bt
renomlnated practically without oppo
sitlon. His presence in California will
it is believed, create so great a furor,
as to ensure him the solid vote of tn,
entire Pacific slope.
His journey across the continent
will be, according to the present pro
gramme. the greatest ovation ever ac
cordpd to "a American statesman, moi
excepting hat of General Grant in S79
Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio
and New York will be visited ny hin

TO THE PUBLIC.

Intending purchasers Of PoND's
EXTRACT cannot take too much pre-
caution to prevent substitution. Some
druggists, trading on the popularity of
the great Family Remedy, attempt to
palm off other preparations, unscru-
pulously asserting them to be "the
same as" or "equal to" PoND's Ex-
TRACT, indifferent to the deceit prac-
ticed upon and disappointment there
by caused to the purchaser, so long
as larger profits accrue to themselves.
Always insist on having PoND's Ex-
TRACT. Take no other.

Senator Mahone's claim that Vir-

figures. The State, 10 fact, is Demo.
cratic by more than 1000. The coun.
ties also in which no elections were
held this year gave Lee for Governor
about 5000 majority, which, added to
those given this year, would make the

Present Complexion of the Senate-A Close
Balance.


Balance.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The election of
Senator Chandler, from New Hampshire,
completes the list of Senators and Sena-
tors-elect of the Fiftieth Congress. The
roll will stand: Republicans, thirty nine,
including Riddleberger, of Virginia, and
Democrats, thirty-seven. California, Ohio
and Virginia are the only States whose
Senators are divided. This is the closest
political unity in the Senate by States
since the war Political differences
in the last Congress between Senators
existed in those from Ohio, New
Jersey, Nevada, Indiana and Cali
fornia. Senators-elect Stewart, OF Nevada !;
Hearst, of California, and Paddock, of Ne
brasl1a, are also ex-Senators. Three mem
bers of the late House are also Senators
elect, viz: Hiscock, from New York; Dan
iel, from Virginia, and Reagan, from Tex
as. Senator-elect Chandler has been in
public life for over twenty years and is the
second member of the late President Ar
thurs Cabinet to be elected to the Senate,
Teller, of Colorado, having served under
the late administration as Secretary of the
Interior

Excited Poles,

LASALLE, H., June 14.-Much feeling
and excitement has been manifested here
for the past two days, growing out of the
finding of the body of Frances Kasha, a
ten-year-old Polish girl, in a well on Eighth
street Saturday. She had last been seen in
the vicinity where Gustave Miller, a gar
dener, was at work. Miller was arrested
to-day and Immediately transferred tc
Ottawa on account of numerous threats
made by the Poles to lynch him. The girls
head was fractured as though by some
blunt instrument. The mayor has ordered
the saloons closed in the Polish locality.

PANIC IN COFFEE.
rhe ran in Coffee Results in Three FAN
ures and a Panic

The Fall in Coffee Results IN Three FAIL
ures and a Panic.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE excitement IN
The coffee market which has attended the
decline in prices reached its highest yes
ierday and the brokers acting for the bull
operators became panic stricken and rushed
20 sell without regard TO price. The bulls
blame the Grune- Crossman syndicate for
starting the decline which eliminated in
yesterdays panic, but the bear syndicate
strained every nerve to check the fall
without success. In fact syndicate
brokers were the only buyers at the OPEN
ing, which was at Il cents pound, over
cent below Saturdays close, and although
a rally was caused by the bear support
ing orders, the rumorS of trouble
and the continued selling caused them
to stop buying and join the bulls IN
unloading the stuff they had taken
early. All through the forenoon the selling
was coupled with the widest scenes ever
witnessed in the exchange and in all the
offices there were knots of brokers gath
cred discussing the prospects of a re-
co1ery.
In the afternoon there was some hope of
1 rally, but the heavy selling continued
and soon the price fell off in heavy fiuctua-
tons until 1t reached Is cents a pound.
This was accompanied by the notice of sus-
pension of three firms-B g. Arnold q Co.,
Norton, Weyl & Bevan and Mackay & Small.
After the announcement of these failures an
organized effort was made by the promi-
nent houses like Donaghue, Gruner and
Crossman to sustain the market and
they succeeded in causing a rally of about
l cent all around. The panic has resulted
in sudden influx of kilograms upon the
brokers, one of which, from Havre,
France, says that the coffee mar
ket there has risen three francs go points)
owing to erroneous quotations from New
York. Thus it would seem that the bulls
must have taken advantage of the panic
and cabled heavy advance instead of the
actual decline.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Paymaster.
General of the army has gwen the demands
made upon him for more frequent payment
of the army some serious consideration.
The army regulation board has spent some
time in discussing the subject, but finally
determined that the pay department could
increase the number of payments without
any further amendments to the resolutions
Paymaster General Rochester has con-
cluded that frequent payments should al
least be tried and IS about to make a prac
teal test of their feasibility.
